Implified YmirxChrista and slightly LevixChrista.
Once he reaches the borders of the forest, the sunlight that was touching his skin as he travels with his horse quickly got caught in the leaves of the tall trees.
Getting down from his horse, he tied the rope that the horse is tied to a tree.
The dirt quickly touch his black boots as he step on the ground, making him frown as the idea of the boots getting dirtied hit him.
"Oh, you're here again." A serene feminine voice said coming from behind him.
As soon as he heard the voice, he quickly glances at his back to greet the gorgeous woman.
"Hello to you to, Mikasa." He greeted and then bowed his head slightly.
"It's been a while since we saw each other, Levi. Do you want to take a walk?" The woman asks calmly.
The man chuckle before he answers her with his sweet and teasing tone.
"It'll be my pleasure."
The girl nods before proceeding to walk the border of the lake.
A moment passes by with both of them just quietly walking as they watch the animals and insects do their routine.
The birds were singing as the creatures in the forest play. The woman giggles as the cold air pass them.
Slowing her pace as she watches the clouds hiding the sun, she asks, "So then, tell me why the crown prince of the Ackerman Kingdom, unexpectedly visit the forest at the middle of the day, when he usually visit only once a month –which should be one week from now?"
Levi stops from his tracks as he stares blankly at the raven hair of the woman. Black meets black as Mikasa glance back at him.
Messing his own raven hair, he answered hoarsely.
"Well... It's just that my father, the shitty king..."
Mikasa rolled her eyes as she heard him bad mouthing.
'Is that how a prince should be? What a typical Levi. And I thought you learned how to be a gentleman from how you act this earlier.' she wanted to say, but knowing the mood, she decided not to.
"And what about this 'Shitty king', father of yours?" she asked.
"Ah, well you see that shitty, not-good-for-nothing Kenny decided that it was time for me to have a fucking fiancé..."
Mikasa sighed, knowing already what happened next.
"So this morning, at his throne hall, He suddenly told me that I would be marrying this fucking princess of the Neighbouring country, so-"
"You decline the offer and went here since you know your dad would not dare to take a step in this 'Forbidden Forest'." Mikasa continued, cutting him off.
She glances back at the man, inspecting how his expressions change from calm to anger. She smiled weakly after she sighed.
Walking slowly closer to face him, she continued.
"So what do you decide to do after this?" she asks.
Levi tilted his head his gazed shifted from her to the lake as he spoke.
"To be honest, I thought I should just leave that God damn kingdom once and for all and live with you."
'There it goes again.' She thought to herself as her heartbeats suddenly pounds abnormally again.
"Instead of doing that, how about I'll just help you with your problem then?" She asks, making Levi stare back at her, his face clearly surprised at what she said.
"You mean you can help me?"
She nodded at him as she cross her one arm, her other free arm is slightly held high.
"I'm a witch, remember?" As soon as she reminded him about it, a red flame suddenly appears at her pointy finger that was held high.
Twirling her pointing finger, she plays with the fire as she continued, "Field in love is something that even a low-level witch can expert at."
Levi watches as the high-level witch stares at the fire as she plays with it, making him easily reminded how this woman in front of him is considered to be one of the best witches in the history.
"Well, whose this 'lucky girl' I'm going to play- help you with?" The woman asks to the still-stunned man in front of her.
"Historia Reiss." He said automatically as soon as she asks, even though his mind was currently somewhere else.
As soon as he said that, the fire in Mikasa's finger suddenly evaporates, her evil smile turned to a grin of interest and gloomy.
"You mean Historia of the royal Reiss family?" she clarified, her tone filled with suspicion.
"Yeah." He said as he snap back from reality.
Crossing both her arms now, she looks at him and with a tone of sadness and bored she said, "Well if it's her, it would be quite easy. I would even bet that you won't be able to marry her even if you won't do anything."
"And why is that?" He asks with a questionable look.
"That's because that girl and Ymir, 'The Witch In The Center Forest' love each other. And you see, that girl, once she wants something she would get it even if it would kill her." She answered as memories of a certain freckled black-hair woman went to visit her in her forest and ask for something.
In the other hand, Levi recalled the story about the witch who lives in the Kentro forest, the forest located directly at the middle of the land, above the Reiss Kingdom, earning her the title, 'The Witch In The Center Forest'. If the witch was not known to be playing with the people who came in that forest, then he would definitely believe that the princess and that witch are lovers as their kingdom and the forest is just near.
"Why do you say so?" He asks with a doubt tone, clearly not believing her.
Mikasa rested her hands behind her head as she shifted her stares from him into the lake at their side.
"That 'witch' you see came here to visit me one time. She wanted to be a human boy to be with the princess of the Reiss Kingdom and thought that I could help her since I'm the only high-level witch she knows about..." she said as her eyes stares blankly at the water, allowing her memories of that fateful encounter go to her.
"Then what happened?"
She hesitated a bit, not knowing if she should tell or not. Bu with a deep sigh she continued the story.
"Well technically, she's not really a pure witch like me but just a curse witch but sti-"
"Curse witch?" he cut her off, as his curiosity got him.
"Ah, well. Some enchantress who are high level class like me, has been gifted the right to turn someone into a witch/wizard –or as you human say curse. Apparently that girl was curse by a wizard who got angry at her for overestimating immortality, so that wizard decided to teach her a lesson."
"Continue."
"I may be a rare, high-level witch, but the only person allowed to dismiss magic is the person who did it or the mother witch who has the power to change fates' desires. But I'm neither of those, so of course I... I told her I can't help her." She continued her speech before she created a rock at her hands and throws it at the lake.
"But can't you turn creatures into humans? You did it before so why not now?" Levi said remembering how she changes some animal into human when they first met.
She just shrugs her head and answered him.
"Turning a curse witch into a human is a different story, as it would consider dismissing the magic of the sorceress, that's why if I do it to her my spell would be pointless as it only follows to those two people. So in the end, I can only help them by helping them give birth to a child that is their own blood and tell them some hints where that wizard that curses her can be found."
Levi glances at her face and ask once more time, "Why not tell her if you know where?"
That's when Mikasa shifter her gazed at the man, getting inch closer to face him. With a weak smile she answered, "That girl was curse, until she realised what the wizard that curse her want to teach her, she would never be able to find him, that just how curse works."
Mikasa now cupped his cheeks with her hands, and sooner caress it.
"Don't worry about it Levi, even with that your wedding would have 100% chance that it would be ruined as the Reiss King would not want a crazy 'witch' to destroy their kingdom."
"I could still be married to other princess, you know." He protested, as he stares at the beautiful eyes in front of him, clearly mesmerized by it.
"Then we'll make sure you'll become the king when that time comes, so once you're a king you'll be able to marry the one you'll love."
"What if I already found that one?" As soon as he said that Levi's eyes widen, surprise at what he said that should only have been kept for his mind.
Mikasa shared the expression with only a bit mix of grief at it which was one of the reasons that shock her.
"T-then I guess I'll make a way to make you and t-that p-person to be t-together." She said croakily.
Levi put his hands at her cheeks, he did not know what came over to him, but whatever it is, he likes it.
"Then what if it's you?"
Mikasa's sparkling eyes widen as he have never seen before. Before she could reply, Levi put his lips at her.
Once parted, he said those magical words, "You don't know how much I fell for you since we met."
Mikasa smiled and for a moment she removes the voices in her mind that reason her that this was all wrong and just enjoyed those seconds as she answered him with those words.
"And you don't know how much you drive me crazy."
They kissed again, deeply this time, not one wanting to stop.
